What I want from all manufacturers is the low bucks sleeper option. Their biggest, badest drive train in their sexy but bare bones package with their best brakes and suspension. No leather, no entertainment systems, rubber floor mats, half the sound damping material, no sun roofs, no climate control, no blue-tooth, or traction control, or stability control or hill assist. You can leave in the central door locks and power windows, though. Delete the back seats, too.
I'd think there would be quite a market for that. The truth is I wonder if the reason why they don't do that is to offset the costs of the more expensive packages because I doubt they would be able to sell enough of the higher end packages with the engine available with the base model.
